Obituary of Geo. N. Nichols.
George Nelson Nichols was born June 30, 1833, in Barry township, Orleans Co., N. Y.
At the age of two years he with his fathers family came to northern Ind. and settled in the place that is known as Wolcottsville. It was then a wild, desolate place, inhabited by Indians. Many other white people soon came in and settled up the country.
It was at this place he grew up to noble manhood, going to school in the winter and helping his father on the farm in summer.
At the age of 21 years he moved to Webster Co., Iowa. In this county he purchased a farm, and in the following year he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Baxter. Selling his farm in Iowa, he with his family emigrated to Butler Co., Nebr., took a homestead and by hard work and good economy soon had a good home.
He was a good man and as enterprising citizen, a kind husband, a good father and always ready to help anyone who was in trouble. He was good to everyone, and will be greatly missed in the community where he had lived for 31 years.
After four weeks of extreme suffering he passed away, leaving a wife, a daughter and one son and nine grandchildren, one sister and many other friends to mourn his departure. But their loss is his gain.
A few minutes before he passed away he beckoned his children, wife and friends to his bedside; took them by the hand as a signal of "Good bye" as he was speechless, and had been for twelve hours prior to his death.
He died at 30 minutes past 9 on the night of the 2d of Feb. 1901.
On the 5th of Feb. he was laid to rest under the snow white ground.
His soul is at rest,
My brother George is dead and gone,
His friends are left to weep and mourn,
His soul is happy with the Lord.
